Skinny #1 Racing

I rode for 3 hours and 10 minutes in the pouring rain yesterday. It started off overcast and then about 15 minutes into the ride it began to drizzle. I guess the pace slowly picked up and by the end of my ride it was an absolute downpour. The weather said isolated thunderstorms with a 50% chance of precipitation, so for NH I figured my odds were pretty good! Along the way I drank 3 bottles of gatorade/water, two packets of gushers, and a huge banana. However, when I got home the only thing that could satisfy this wild beast was a large cheese pizza from Gabby's. When I got that craving for pizza, a craving for Ninja Turles came along with it. So, I got my pizza and popped in the movie. The movie was excellent, and the box of pizza (yes, I ate the whole thing) was excellent as well. There is a whole lot of stuff from the movie that I didn't remember, like this one part where Michaelangelo acts out Rocky...it's so funny.

Anyways, it looks like rain again today. A couple of hours on the mountain bike probably isn't going to be too pleasant. I can't wait until I get back out to Colorado and I hardly ever have to ride in the rain. Here, I think I ride in the rain just as much as I ride in the sunshine. It's a real bummer.
